  <about><![CDATA[Geoffrey Champion Ward is an author and screenwriter of various documentary presentations of American history. He graduated from Oberlin College in 1962.

He was an editor of &lt;i&gt;American Heritage&lt;/i&gt; magazine early in his career. He wrote the television mini-series &lt;i&gt;The Civil War&lt;/i&gt; with its director Ken Burns and has collaborated with Burns on every documentary he has made since, including &lt;i&gt;Jazz&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Baseball&lt;/i&gt;. This work won him five Emmy Awards. The most recent Burns/Ward collaboration, &lt;i&gt;The War&lt;/i&gt;, premiered on PBS in September 2007. In addition he co-wrote &lt;i&gt;The West&lt;/i&gt;, of which Ken Burns was an executive producer, with fellow historian Dayton Duncan.
